02. Don't Stay
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know Somehow I need you to go Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just take myself back and Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just take myself back and Don't stay Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I just feel like strangling you myself Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know Somehow I need to be alone Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just take myself back and Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just take myself back and Don't stay I don't need you anymore, don't want to be ignored I don't need one more day, of you wasting me away I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored I don't need one more day, of you wasting me away With no apologies Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just take myself back and Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just take myself back and Don't stay Don't stay Don't stay 03. Somewhere I Belong
(When this began)
I had nothing to say And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find That I'm not the only person with these things in mind (Inside of me) But all that they can see the words revealed Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel (Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (Erase all the pain till it's gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face (I was confused) Looking everywhere only to find That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind (So what am I) What do I have but negativity 'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me (Nothing to lose) Nothing to gain, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (Erase all the pain till it's gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed I will never be anything till I break away from me I will break away, I'll find myself today I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long (Erase all the pain till it's gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong Somewhere I belong 04. Lying From You
When I pretend, everything is what I want it be,
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am Stealing second after second just cause I know I can, but I can't pretend that this is they way it will stay, I'm just (Lying to defend the truth) I can't pretend of who you want me to be so (I'm lying my way from) You (Nah, no turning back now) I wanna be close beside so let me go (Nah, no turning back now) Let me take me back my life I'd rather be all alone (No turning back now) And anywhere on my own, 'cause I can see (Nah, no turning back now) 'Cause everyone's lying from you With me I remember what they taught to me, Remember condescending took for what I ought to be Remember fussing and all of that and this again So I could turned it up to the person who was feeling it And now you think this person really is me and I (Trying to defend the truth) Yo, the more I push I'm pulling away cause i'm (Lying my way from) You (Nah, no turning back now) I wanna be close beside so let me go (Nah, no turning back now) Let me take me back my life I'd rather be all alone (No turning back now) And anywhere on my own, 'cause I can see (Nah, no turning back now) 'Cause everyone's lying from you With me This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you running from me Like this! This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you running from me Like this! This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you running from me Like this! This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you running from me Like this! You (Nah, no turning back now) I wanna be close beside so let me go (Nah, no turning back now) Let me take me back my life I'd rather be all alone (No turning back now) And anywhere on my own, 'cause I can see (Nah, no turning back now) 'Cause everyone's lying from you With me 05. Hit The Floor
There are just too many times when people try to put their trust in me
Wondering when I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy Too many times that I held on but when I didn't you push away Afraid to say what is wrong and right, afraid to say what I need to say Too many things that you say about me when I'm not around You think you have the upper hand and you got to put me down Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand So I wait till the upper hand is mine One minute you're up top (You better not want to draw) Making a rough start (Just before you hit the floor) One minute you're up top (You better not miss a shot) Making a rough start (You think you won) And then it's all gone So many people like me that put so much trust in all the lies So concerned with better things and just say what we feel inside So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long All of those and all they want is to feel like I've been stepped on There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line Watch this I will show you all I am counting down the time Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand So I wait till the upper hand is mine One minute you're up top (You better not want to draw) Making a rough start (Just before you hit the floor) One minute you're up top (You better not miss a shot) Making a rough start (You think you won) And then it's all gone I know I can't trust or see the way you say And now I realise you're byast but you're right anyway And now your eyes have got you thinking up for what you saw I know now something's got to fall One minute you're up top (You better not want to draw) Making a rough start (Just before you hit the floor) One minute you're up top (You better not miss a shot) Making a rough start (You think you won) And then it's all gone 06. Easier To Run
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something long It's so much easier to run Replace all this pain here all alone Something has been taken from deep inside of me The secret I've been locked away where one could never see Look so different, never show, They never go away Like moving pictures in my head For years and years they've played If I could change I would Take all the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame and the pain I would If I could change I would Take all the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame and the blame It's easier to run replacing this pain with something long It's so much easier to run Replace all this pain here all alone Some things I remember but thought the soul bypassed Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think I'm letting go and never looking back I never really thought so, I never realized? If I could change I would Take all the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame and the pain I would If I could change I would Take all the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame and the blame Just watch it in the sun All of the helplessness as I've Pretending I don't feel misplaced It's so much simpler to change It's easier to run replacing this pain with something long It's so much easier to run Replace all this pain here all alone It's easier to run If I could change I would Take all the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made It's easier to run If I could change I would Take all the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame with me 07. Faint
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can help the fact, that everybody can see these scars What I want you to want, what I want you to feel But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'cause you want what I've got I can't feel the way I did before Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Time won't heal this damage anymore Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident 'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can, but sometimes I don't make sense I say what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, for once just to hear me out So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'cause you want what I've got I can't feel the way I did before Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Time won't heal this damage anymore Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Now Hear me out now You're gonna listen to me, like it or not Right now Hear me out now You're gonna listen to me, like it or not Right now I can't feel the way I did before Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored I can't feel the way I did before Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Time won't heal this damage anymore Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored I can't feel I won't be ignored Time won't heal Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored 08. Figure.09
Nothin' ever stops all these thoughts n' the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin' It's like nothin' I can do would distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again 'Cause from the infinite words I can say I Put all pain you gave to me on display But didn't realize instead of settin' it free I Took what I hated and made it a part of me It never goes away It never goes away And now You've become a part of me You'll always be right here You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear I can't separate Myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you Hearin' your name the memories come back again I remember when it started happenin' I see you n' every thought I had and then The thoughts slowly found words attached to them And I knew as they escaped away I was committin' myself to em n' everyday I regret sayin' those things 'cause now I see that I Took what I hated and made it a part of me It never goes away It never goes away And now You've become a part of me You'll always be right here You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear I can't separate Myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you It never goes away It never goes away It never goes away It never goes away Get away from me! Give me my space back you gotta just Go! Everything comes down the memories of You! I kept it in without lettin' you Know! I let you go so get away from Me! Give me my space back you gotta just Go! Everything comes down the memories of You! I kept it in without lettin' you Know! I let you go And now You've become a part of me You'll always be right here You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear I can't separate Myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you I've let myself become you I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you 09. Breaking The Habit
Memories concern
Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safer in my room Unless I try to start again I don't want to be the one Who battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight Cultured my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I have no options left again I don't want to be the one Who battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one that falls I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit Breaking the habit tonight 10. From The Inside
I don't know who to trust, your surprise
Everything feel so far away from me Have your thoughts sent through dust, and the lies Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this to see Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this, all the time and time between And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me Take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you Tension is building inside, steadily You feel so far away from me Have your thoughts forcing their way out of me Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this, all the time and time between And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me Take everything from the inside And throw it all away Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you I won't waste myself on you! You! You! Waste myself on you! You! You! I'll take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you Everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you You You You 11. Nobody's Listening
Yo peep the style and the kids checkin' for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it And drop right back in the cut Over basement tracks with rap sack Got you back in the sup like rewind that We just rollin' with the rhythm Fast from the ashes of stylist division We these nonstop lyrics of life livin' Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven When in the mean time there are those who wanna talk This and that so what suppose that It gets to the point to where feelings gotta get hurt And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt It goes I tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me I told I everything loud and clear But nobody's listening Call to you so clearly But you don't want to hear me I told you everything loud and clear But nobody's listening I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, hair full of anger Hell did my chest And everything left is waste of time I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more I'm riding on the back of this pressure Guessing that it's better I can't keep myself together Because all of this stress gave me something to write on Pain gave me something I could set my sights on Never forget the blood, sweat and tears The uphill struggle over years The fear and the trash talking to the people it was to And the people that started it just like you. I tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me I told I everything loud and clear But nobody's listening Call to you so clearly But you don't want to hear me I told you everything loud and clear But nobody's listening I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, hair full of anger Hell did my chest Uphill struggle, blood, sweat and tears, nothing to gain Everything to fear I tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me I told I everything loud and clear But nobody's listening Call to you so clearly But you don't want to hear me I told you everything loud and clear But nobody's listening 12.

13. Numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone) Every step I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone) I've become so numb I can't feel you there I've become so tired so much more aware I've becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone) And every second I waste is more than I can take I've become so numb I can't feel you there I've become so tired so much more aware I've becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you I've become so numb I can't feel you there I've become so tired so much more aware I've becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb I can't feel you there Is everything what you want me to be I've become so numb I can't feel you there Is everything what you want me to be |
